Yes you can do it by logining into your Wireless Routers DHCP Configuration page and you would have the List of IP Addresses assigned to different computers.

Or you can go to www.download.com and download angry ip scanner.

This is a small exe file which would scan a range of IP addresses.

Now find out the IP address of ur computer say its 192.168.5.23.

Then scan for the range 192.168.5.2-192.168.5.255.

192.168.5.1 would be ur router address.

All the live computers would show as green and dead computers or un used IPs would show as Red.

So you will know real time online / offline status.

If you still need help get back to me.

Well, if your network is not secured, then other people could possibly be "stealing" your internet connection. All they have to do is turn on their wireless adapter and look for the signals in the air. You can see the product key of each computer using it. Thats it, not the name of the person, not the address or place they are using it from, just the individual code of each computer using the wireless system. To prevent this, you can put a password (WPA key) on the wireless system so the system shows but you cannot use it unless you have the password.(WPA key) In conclusion, you can only see the codes of the computers using the network and if you only have 3 computers in your home using the network, and its shows that there are 5 people using the network, then you know someone is "stealing" your internet connection through wireless networking.

yes. its dependent on your router though. go to the routers administration console, and you should be able to view the connected computers within your network - it will only show you the MAC address, so without knowing the MAC for each computer around you, it would be impossible to know exactly who it is. But, you can definitely tell if there are more than you expect. If you are having trouble with neighbors or others using your signal - set it up to be a secured network, requiring a password to connect.

If they are tied into your network, yes. If they drive in front of your house and also have a wireless network and access your system, I don't think so. You need a good firewall &/or security system to eliminate that.

Yes but you have to be administrator to view all other computers on the network.

Yes. You need to access your router. This is usually done by typing in a web browser 192.168.1.1 but you need to consult your manual to check the actual ip address to use.

Download a packet sniffer/intrusion detection application, e.g. Snort.

Open your router's configuration panel and check the logs for DHCP requests.

Yes, but you need the full version of McAfee 2007 to do that.
